Plus increased dispatch reliability.
Weight is a surprisingly large amount too, it's 200-300lbs in old crap you are pulling out of a King Air with a G1000 install. That's a whole extra fare paying passenger.

Re: Perimeter
Apparently Perimeter is so fucked right now they are hiring 1000 hour single engine 206 pilots with no multi as DEC Metro.
Meanwhile the ramp and flight attendants who have been there two years slaving away are getting jumped by DE pilots. FO's and Captains.
I think the shortage has arrived.

I hope that is just a nasty rumour, that is a whole lot of plane for inexperienced pilots!Saxub wrote:Apparently Perimeter is so fucked right now they are hiring 1000 hour single engine 206 pilots with no multi as DEC Metro.

It was from the inside, but I'm sure someone can chime in if they like.

Re: Perimeter
LOL Who starts these rumors, and how can someone who doesn't even work there anymore vouch that its 100% correct.... that is the real question that needs to be answered....darshanpatelh wrote:I can vouch to that info above 100% correct.

not completely, more like 66% correct. Off the street hires, Yes. Bumping guys who have slaved on the ramp for years, yes. DEC, no but will likely be upgraded quickly if they are somewhat competent and can jump through the hoops.

Re: Perimeter
If the OTS are more experienced then you can't complain too much, the company has to find the most qualified people.
If you're going to complain, complain to/about the current flight crews who are leaving so quickly that a 250 hrs wonder like yourself can't get on the flight line because you aren't upgradeable in a year.
If the turnover wasn't so ridiculously high then you would get your shot just like people have for the last 3 decades. DEC is/has been very uncommon around there.

Well I was told it by someone who currently works there. That's why I said "If someone can chime in." Could have been exaggerated?
I was told more or less the following. 1000 hour ish single engine pilot was hired under a Captain contract to fly right seat for a few months then upgrade to the left seat.
